Many of you may have read the "Purpose Driven Life" in the 10 years it has been out. Maybe you picked it up after hearing about a gunman who stopped to read it with one of his victims in the middle of a manhunt; Brian Nichols had shot a judge to death, escaped the courthouse and was fleeing police at the time. It was this incident that really thrust the book into the spotlight.

An online movement is calling for a day of "cease fire" on Friday, where gamers put down their controllers in honor of the victims in Newtown.

One man who is all too familiar with the tragedy in Newtown Connecticut is John Michael Keyes. His daughter Emily was killed in a shooting at Platte Canyon High School in Colorado in 2006.
